A Hybrid Classifier for Characterizing Motor Unit Action Potentials in Diagnosing Neuromuscular Disorders
Background: The time and frequency features of motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) extracted from electromyographic (EMG) signal provide discriminative information for diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. However, the results of conventional automatic diagnosis methods using MUAP features is not convincing yet.Objective: The main goal in designing a MUAP characterization system ...
متن کاملRedundant Nerve Root Syndrome of Cauda Equina
Objective: Recognizing cauda equina redundant nerve root syndrome is crucial before surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of this condition are demonstrated. The aim of this study is to identify patients with redundant nerve root syndrome (RNS), well demonstrate (MRI) findings, notify the surgeon before the surgery and therefore to prevent a potential catastrophe. Methods: Ten pati...
متن کاملMembrane Potentials and Action Potentials
Electrical potentials exist across the membranes of virtually all cells of the body. In addition, some cells, such as nerve and muscle cells, are capable of generating rapidly changing electrochemical impulses at their membranes, and these impulses are used to transmit signals along the nerve or muscle membranes. In other types of cells, such as glandular cells, macrophages, and ciliated cells,...
متن کاملCauda equina and lumbar nerve root compression in patients with AIDS.
Five patients known to be HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-positive--that is, susceptible to AIDS--presented with symptoms initially thought to be indicative of lumbar disc lesions. Signs of nerve root or cauda equina compression were found in all five patients. Lumbar radiculography and, in one patient, computerised tomography produced no evidence of compressive pathology. We recommend that ...
متن کاملAction Potentials'
lntracellular Caz+, K+, CI-, and NOsactivities were measured with ion-selective microeledrodes in the liverwort Conocephalum conicum 1. at rest, during dark/light changes, and in the couese of adion potentials triggered by light or electrical stimuli. l h e average free cytosolic Caz+ concentration was 231 f 65 nM. We did not observe any light-dependent changes of the free cytosolic Caz+ concen...
